Demystifying AI In Marketing & Communications | 5-Part Webinar Series (February 2026)

AI isn’t coming - it’s already here

As lifelong marketers and communicators, we’ve seen how AI has transformed how we communicate, engage and lead - from campaign planning to content creation. 

But here’s the truth: the real power of AI isn’t in the tools, it’s in how we use them. 

Without humans at the centre, AI is just noise (and slop). With the right skills, confidence and mindset, AI can become your superpower.

Over 5 dynamic online sessions, you’ll join award-winning science communicator Emma Donnelly and global digital marketing strategist Jay Paul for a practical, energising deep-dive into AI in marketing and communications. 

As practitioners, we’ve designed our AI Bootcamp to answer these real-world challenges for marketers, communicators, and peers working in adjacent roles. Don’t just take our word for it, our learners give us a 4.9-star average.

Together, we’ll cut through the hype and overwhelm to give you the strategies, skills and clarity to make AI work for you - ethically, creatively, and with real impact.

This isn’t a dry lecture or a tech demo. It’s hands-on, human-first learning. You’ll play with leading AI tools, experiment with prompts, and practice building content and outputs that actually connect with audiences. 

You’ll explore the critical “why” behind using AI, understand how to set ethical guardrails, and discover how to translate AI outputs into communication that lands.

By the end, you won’t just “know about AI.” You’ll have created something with it. 

You’ll walk away not just with ideas, but a ready-to-use workflow, a set of AI assets and the skills to keep experimenting, creating and leading in the AI era.

And because we know learning is better with connection, we’ll wrap things up with a celebratory session (think conversations, not just computers) and a scheduled group support check-in to keep you moving forward.

Our AI In Marketing & Communications Bootcamp is for:

If you work with messages, audiences or ideas, this bootcamp is for you.

• Marketers and communicators who want to harness AI without losing their human touch.

If you’re ready to move past the buzzwords and start using AI with confidence, creativity and purpose - this bootcamp is for you.

FAQs

I’m new to AI, is this training for me?

Absolutely. This bootcamp is designed as a launchpad, perfect if you’re new to AI, curious but cautious, or simply want more confidence. We start with the “what” and “why” of AI in your world, then move into supported hands-on practice. No tech background needed, and trust us, there are no silly questions.

How do I prepare?

You'll get an email with preparation info. In the meantime, download our AI Cheat Sheet (pdf) to get set up on your chosen AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude and Gemini ahead of the training.

I already dabble with AI tools. Will I still learn something new?

Yes. Even if you’ve played with AI before, you’ll go deeper: mastering prompts, setting ethical guardrails, and building real-world AI outputs and plans.

You’ll leave having spent time with experts and peers in the room and with sharper skills, a personalised toolkit, and a practical plan you can put to work straight away.

Do I need to know how to code?

Nope. Jay can, Emma can’t. In this session we certainly won’t be coding anything in the room - not even vibe coding!

What AI tools will we use in the bootcamp?

We’ll play with leading tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Claude. Don’t worry if your workplace uses something different - the principles you’ll learn apply across all platforms. You’ll build skills you can take anywhere.

Will I get something tangible to take away?

Absolutely - we’ll share samples to get you started, and then you’ll tailor and create your own AI toolkit, plan, and prompts ready to roll.

You’ll leave with

• Lesson slides - so you can review and apply learnings

• An AI Cheat Sheet (pdf) (free for all registrants, even before the workshop)

• Your own co-created AI Toolkit (saved prompts, sample prompts and a tailored action plan)

• A completed AI workflow, creation or initiative pitch to take back to your workplace

• New peer connections and networks (and a celebratory drink or two)

• An all-group post-training support check-in to keep your momentum going

Can I book my team?

Yes - that’s a brilliant idea! In our experience, bringing your team gets you the best impact. Ask us about our team discounts. Learning together means you’ll walk away with shared language, shared tools and a joint action plan - ready to spark change across your organisation.

Where is the training being held?

Online and live, so you can participate from anywhere.

What if I ultimately can’t attend?

Life happens. If you give us 10+ days’ notice, you can transfer to another date or get a full training credit. Cancellations inside 10 days can’t be refunded due to preparation and limited spots.

We have further AI Bootcamps coming in 2026, so we would also be happy to move you to another online bootcamp that suits your schedule.

How can I convince my employer to cover the cost?

We know it can be hard to get PD sometimes - so here’s a business case we’ve prepared for you:

• Training delivers proven returns - organisations with structured training see up to 17% greater productivity and 21% higher profitability (Harvard Business School).

• Companies that invest in employee development deliver 218% higher income per employee compared to those that don’t (Devlin Peck).

• Training drives retention - 94% of employees say they’d stay longer if their employer invested in their development (ThinkImpact).

• AI skills have particularly high economic returns - workers with AI-related skills earn ~21% more on average, because those skills complement other high-value capabilities (arXiv research).

This means your employer isn’t just funding training - they’re making a smart investment in productivity, retention, and future-ready skills.

Will it be all tech talk?

Nope. This is human-first learning. We’ll keep it practical, ethical, and grounded in communication and creativity. You’ll leave with clarity, confidence and skills you can actually use - we promise to avoid jargon or overwhelm.

Will it be boring?

Not a chance. Forget all you know about (ahem, often snoozy) corporate training. Our training's always fun!

How do I book?

• Simple! Hit the 'Learn With Us' button and get going to grab your seat. Early bird prices until 19 December 2025.

• Contact us for team discounts. Spaces are limited, so don’t wait.

What is the purpose of measuring my AI MarComm skills?

We invite Bootcamp participants to complete a short 5-10 minute AI In MarComms Skills quiz, to identify current strengths and learning opportunities across eight key areas of modern MarComms.

And, why? We are passionate about improving your skills - as individuals to get you that promotion or personal growth - and for leaders - to see your teams and organisations ready (and roadmapped) for the AI of tomorrow, not just today.

Knowing your anonymous scores helps us to support every participant’s learning experience.

Measuring your skills is your first step in identifying where you can strengthen your AI skills for that next project, promotion, or personal development. We’re as excited as you to make that dream happen!

We will shareAI In MarComms Skills quiz with you before your bootcamp. And leaders, do can contact us if you want to measure your organisations' AI capabilities.
